The number of games the women’s basketball team has won away from home — including neutral-site contests — this season. This marks the second-most in the country, trailing only Connecticut’s 15. The 14th such game, against Boston College, produced some memorable results. Kristina Nelson scored a career-high 16 points and Jessica Shepard posted her 22nd game in double digits with 18 points. Ultimately, the Irish finished with 64 points in the paint, surmounting the 60-point mark for the 3rd time this season.

The number of years since the men’s hockey team has last won a regular season conference championship. With their 2-1 win over Ohio State on Feb. 9, the team seized the 2017-18 Big Ten regular season championship in their inaugural season in the conference. The victory also marks the program’s sixth conference championship. Most notably, this season’s championship was the first ever in program history to be won on home ice.

The relay team’s time ranked sixth in the country as of the night of the meet (Feb. 17).
